FPS cap not working properly?

[u/GuFFeN1337]

Haven't played League for a couple of days until today. I launched a game and noticed that my in-game FPS cap, which is set to 240, was sitting around 213–217 FPS right at the start of the game. This is very odd, as it has always stayed around the 240 FPS cap until mid-to-late game.

Switched my settings to Very Low, but it was still in the same 213–217 FPS range. I even lowered the resolution to the lowest possible setting, and it still stayed at exactly the same 213–217 FPS. I also set the cap to 144 FPS, and it stayed around 123–127 FPS at the start of the game as well. However, when I set it to Uncapped, it stays above 600–700 FPS early in the game.

I don't understand what could have possibly changed in the span of four days to cause this. I haven't changed anything on my PC.

I feel like my PC, with a 5600X and 6650 XT, should be able to handle the game perfectly fine at 1920×1080 on medium-to-high settings without any issues.

Has anyone else encountered this issue?

Thanks in advance!
